Product Description

GK921 is a novel and potent inhibitor of transglutaminase 2 (TGase), with an IC50 of 7.71 μM for TGase 2 that is recombinant. GK921 was cytotoxic to RCC, with an average GI50 of 0.905 μM across eight RCC cell lines. In the preclinical xenograft tumor models ACHN and CAKI-1, a single treatment with GK921 stabilized p53 and nearly eliminated tumor growth. The TGase 2 inhibitor GK921 inhibits the growth of RCC in xenograft tumor models, indicating a potential novel therapeutic strategy for RCC.

Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
TGase (IC50 = 7.71 μM)
ln Vitro
GK921 inhibits the dose-dependent polymerization of p53 and I-κBα induced by TGase 2. GK921 was cytotoxic, with GI50 values ranging from 10-10 to 10-4 M. GI50 on average is 9.05×10-7 M. A concentration-dependent rise in cleaved poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (c-PARP) and p53 levels is seen when GK921 rescues p53 levels, which in turn triggers apoptosis[1].
ln Vivo
GK921 stabilizes p53 in the preclinical xenograft tumor models ACHN and CAKI-1, almost completely reducing tumor growth after a single treatment[1].
Enzyme Assay
Following a 10-minute preincubation period in 0.1 mL of reaction buffer containing varying concentrations of GK13 or GK921, with or without 10 mM CaCl2, TGase 2from guinea pig liver is added. The substrate solution contains 2
Cell Assay
The BAX promoter luciferase reporter construct is transfected into the cells. The dual luciferase assay kit is used to measure the activities of firefly and Renilla luciferase after exposure to GK921 (0, 0.5, 1, 2.5, and 5 μM), with pRL-CMV serving as an internal control.
Animal Protocol
Mice: GK921 is dissolved in DMSO for mice. For 64 days, the vehicle alone and GK921 (8 mg/kg) are given orally once daily, five days a week. Every two to three days, the size of the main tumors is measured with calipers. One calculates the tumor volume[1].

Shipping Condition

Solubility Data
Solubility (In Vitro)
DMSO: ≥ 30 mg/mL (~87.1 mM)
Solubility (In Vivo)
Solubility in Formulation 1: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (7.26 mM) (saturation unknown) in 10% DMSO + 40% PEG300 + 5% Tween80 + 45% Saline (add these co-solvents sequentially from left to right, and one by one), clear solution.
For example, if 1 mL of working solution is to be prepared, you can add 100 μL of 25.0 mg/mL clear DMSO stock solution to 400 μL PEG300 and mix evenly; then add 50 μL Tween-80 to the above solution and mix evenly; then add 450 μL normal saline to adjust the volume to 1 mL.
Preparation of saline: Dissolve 0.9 g of sodium chloride in 100 mL ddH₂ O to obtain a clear solution.

Solubility in Formulation 2: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (7.26 mM) (saturation unknown) in 10% DMSO + 90% (20% SBE-β-CD in Saline) (add these co-solvents sequentially from left to right, and one by one), clear solution.
For example, if 1 mL of working solution is to be prepared, you can add 100 μL of 25.0 mg/mL clear DMSO stock solution to 900 μL of 20% SBE-β-CD physiological saline solution and mix evenly.
Preparation of 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline (4°C,1 week): Dissolve 2 g SBE-β-CD in 10 mL saline to obtain a clear solution.

 (Please use freshly prepared in vivo formulations for optimal results.)

5 mM 0.5807 mL 2.9035 mL 5.8070 mL
10 mM 0.2904 mL 1.4518 mL 2.9035 mL

*Note: Please select an appropriate solvent for the preparation of stock solution based on your experiment needs. For most products, DMSO can be used for preparing stock solutions (e.g. 5 mM, 10 mM, or 20 mM concentration); some products with high aqueous solubility may be dissolved in water directly. Solubility information is available at the above Solubility Data section. Once the stock solution is prepared, aliquot it to routine usage volumes and store at -20°C or -80°C. Avoid repeated freeze and thaw cycles.

Calculator

Molarity Calculator allows you to calculate the mass, volume, and/or concentration required for a solution, as detailed below:

  • Calculate the Mass of a compound required to prepare a solution of known volume and concentration
  • Calculate the Volume of solution required to dissolve a compound of known mass to a desired concentration
  • Calculate the Concentration of a solution resulting from a known mass of compound in a specific volume
An example of molarity calculation using the molarity calculator is shown below:
What is the mass of compound required to make a 10 mM stock solution in 5 ml of DMSO given that the molecular weight of the compound is 350.26 g/mol?
  • Enter 350.26 in the Molecular Weight (MW) box
  • Enter 10 in the Concentration box and choose the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 5 in the Volume box and choose the correct unit (mL)
  • Click the “Calculate” button
  • The answer of 17.513 mg appears in the Mass box. In a similar way, you may calculate the volume and concentration.

Dilution Calculator allows you to calculate how to dilute a stock solution of known concentrations. For example, you may Enter C1, C2 & V2 to calculate V1, as detailed below:

What volume of a given 10 mM stock solution is required to make 25 ml of a 25 μM solution?
Using the equation C1V1 = C2V2, where C1=10 mM, C2=25 μM, V2=25 ml and V1 is the unknown:
  • Enter 10 into the Concentration (Start) box and choose the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Concentration (End) box and select the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Volume (End) box and choose the correct unit (mL)
  • Click the “Calculate” button
  • The answer of 62.5 μL (0.1 ml) appears in the Volume (Start) box
